Crank's Video of the Day...........



R.I.P Andy Hughes

"Andy Hughes, (born 11th November 1965 - died 12th June 2009), was an English electronic music producer from Harrow, Middlesex [1]. He is most known for his work with The Orb, where he helped mix and produce Orbus Terrarum, Orblivion, and Cydonia, as well as The Orb's singles from this period. Hughes left The Orb during the production of Cydonia, which was reworked after his departure. He also did some additional original production work and performed remixes for The Cranberries and Tangerine Dream.

Hughes died at the Liver Intensive Care Unit at Kings College Hospital in London after a short illness on June 12, 2009."

If there's work in the bed, why not sleep on the floor?

If, like me, you don't believe in adhering to other people's rigid rules and ideas regarding the world of work, then you might find this article interesting. What's the point in breaking your fucking back every day from 9-5 just because you feel you 'have' to, or other people say you should? If you want to, then fair enough, go right ahead.....but if you'd rather relish what little time we have on this planet, experiencing as much pleasure as possible in the process, then don't feel you have to apologise to society because you'd rather drop out and start a New Age Hippie commune in West Cork..........fuck 'em if they can't take a joke - at the end of the day, we're all just food for the worms anyway, but by the time all the 'slaves to the clock' learn that, it will be too late.......................


Today I’d like to talk about some of the notions in our society which are misleading our young people and causing a lot of unnecessary misery. Firstly, the idea that you must earn a living. Within the notion of “having to earn a living” is the assumption that you don’t automatically deserve to be alive. For some reason this tends to make people feel somewhat depressed. I have it on the highest authority, however, that the only way to really earn a living, once and for all, is by being born (and I’m talking here about physical birth, not any religious metaphorical mumbo-jumbo). After that you deserve to relax.


Another misguided concept that I’d like to shoot down is the belief that you should be responsible. This whole idea puts people under tremendous strain, because you end up feeling responsible for all your imperfections. Society holds us accountable if we don’t comply with its definition of our responsibilities. You don’t choose your genetic make-up or the conditions in which you grow up, yet all the unfortunate things that happen are your fault. It’s time we let go of this burden of false responsibility.


What we are really talking about here is that strange phenomenon called masochism. It is my belief that we are a deeply masochistic society. A prominent politician recently said “if it isn’t hurting, it isn’t working”. This statement was calculated to appeal to our need for the type of dogma that insists we must suffer. Any belief which maintains that it’s our duty to endure pain, is guaranteed to be popular.


All of this is against the natural order of things. If God/Buddha/Allah/Evolution/Extraterrestrials (delete as appropriate) wanted us to have a hard time, why did he/they/it give us such an enormous capacity for pleasure – our brains are juicy pleasure organs, not guilt machines. The divine, or whatever, doesn’t talk to us in terms of duty and effort – it whispers peacefully to us of fulfilling our deepest longings and desires.

Crank's Video of the Day...........

Having being paying so much attention to the reggae side of things since I started this blog, I've slightly neglected the other musical love of my life: hip-hop......and what better way to get back in the game than with this absolute gem............




Masta Killa's verse is one of the greatest ever, in my opinion.

Reggae and Dub compilations..............

More on the way soon............feel free to request something! :)

Great song from a bunch of legends...............



















Thursday, June 25, 2009

Summer time n' the chillin' is easy..........

Ez guys, Thought i do an nice easy mix of songs from a host of genres (mostly electronic) that have that summer vibe to them. Hopefully it got the summery feel to it, good for sitting in the grass or by the beach in your yard or just enjoying the nice weather fingers crossed here in ldn.
Hope you enjoy.
Ta.

Crack Man Dappa


Grabbed this from the Dubstep Forum n' it's well nice. Not only is it nice, it's also weird, funky and eclectic; qualities which, in my book, are always more than welcome in a mix, and as far as Summer selections go, it certainly kicks the fucking shit out of this load of bollox. I did ask Crack Man Dappa to include 'Dance wiv Me' or 'Summertime' in his selection but he told me to go fuck myself - oh well, nevermind, this lot will just have to do................




Crack Man Dappa - Summer Selection



Markus Guentner -Express Yourself
Ray Holman -Samba de Arcata
Pepe Deluxe - Ask For A Kiss
Avalanches - Close To You

Big up to Crack Man Dappa for the mix, cheers!!





Are you employed, Sir??

















Get ta fuck!!! If, like me, you spend as much of you life as possible trying to be like Jeffrey Lebowski, then this website is definitely for you - Dudeism.com ! Dudeism claims to be "the slowest growing religion in the world" (which is probably a good thing, considering the state of all the other ones), and it professes to adhere to "an ancient philosophy that preaches non-preachiness, [and] practices as little as possible".......so far, so fucking good. There's all manner of links for fans of 'el Duderino', and you can even get ordained, free of charge, to become a 'Dudeist priest', just like The Crank did; although I do have to admit to a bit of moonlighting for Walter Sobchak's 'Church of Infinite Rage', from time to time.
The forthcoming paperback 'The Tao of The Dude' looks like it could be quite beneficial to practicing Dudeists, with chapters on conflict ('This aggression will not stand'), open-mindedness and creativity ('A lot of ins and outs'), and progress ('New shit has come to light').
Anyway, check out the links, keep takin' her easy for all the sinners, and remember, at all times, ABIDE. I'm off for a couple of oat sodas.....later.

The Kingdom comin' thru...........


Killarney isn’t the first spot in Ireland that springs to mind when you think of street art but recently the Kingdom’s tourist trap has been making the national headlines as the canvas for one of Ireland’s up and coming street artists. Vango told Irishstreetart.com that he first became interested in graffiti when he read an article about Banksy and discovered the stencil method. Since then he’s been obsessed with street art. The artist said “I wanted to see some of it around my town so I decided to start. I first started four months ago with the rats like Banksy and Blek Le rat and then moved onto my own bigger pieces.” Vango has of late including a sculptural element to his work and a hopes to develop a 3d graffiti portfolio.

Local reaction was pretty much what you'd expect in this county;

Article from The Kingdom
Article from The Irish Independent


Nice work there from Mr. Vango.........you'd have to laugh at the local 'outrage', in fairness; I mean, God forbid Killarney would dare to offer tourists anything other than Aran sweaters, shillelleaghs and over-priced ice cream! Long may it last I say, and there's plenty of blank walls out my way if you have the time, Sir.
